As a Colorado School of Public Health student, you have access to many resources that are part of the CU Anschutz Medical Campus (our school's administrative hub) as well as your home campus—CU Anschutz, CSU, or UNC, depending on which degree program you're enrolled in.
Administrative functions such as course registration, tuition payment, financial aid, our Office of Academic & Student Affairs, and many of our student support services are run through our CU Anschutz Medical Campus location and your UCDAccess portal. Educational resources such as Canvas (course portal), textbooks, and course communication are unique to the courses you’re taking and the campus where those courses are offered. Most ColoradoSPH students take the majority of their classes on their home campus, but you have the opportunity to take ColoradoSPH courses offered at any of our three universities. Additional student resources are also available on each of our three university campuses.
To prepare for advising appointments, please review the curriculum and curriculum checklist for your degree program. To find this information, please visit your program's webpage—linked on the MPH, MS, DrPH, PhD, and certificate pages. You will also want to review the upcoming course offerings to plan which courses you'll take in the upcoming semester.
Students whose home campus is the CU Anschutz Medical Campus are assigned an advisor based on their degree program in their first semester. To find contact information for your advisor or to search for faculty by department, please visit our school directory.
Still not sure who your advisor is or have other questions? Please contact the Office of Academic & Student Affairs.

Search for textbooks based on where your class is held and in that campus' bookstore. Be sure to double-check the course number, host campus, and instructor for your courses by reviewing that semester's course schedule on the courses & registration page. Important note: to find required textbooks for courses offered at UNC and CSU, you'll need to search that campus' bookstore with the UNC or CSU course code (which can sometimes be different than how it is listed in the ColoradoSPH general coursebook, but should match the latest course schedules, organized by campus).
Our school's Career & Employer Services team can help you prepare for
and pursue a rewarding career in public health. We offer career advising sessions,
resources to help you in your job search, and networking opportunities specific to the field of public health. In addition our school's career services resources, ColoradoSPH at CSU and ColoradoSPH at UNC students may also access career services on their home campus.
